The difference is that in Indiana they subsidize gasoline instead of taxing it. I lived there 15 years. They have to do stuff like that to keep the population from doing the mass exodus. <br><br>I paid 27 cents for my first pack of Tareytons in Indianapolis. Wasn't their motto, "I would rather be cheap than move"?<br><br>

Good. I hope the price drops even more. But the cost of petroleum is a little like global warming--no doubt there'll be ups and downs, but the trend is ever upwards. And I hate to say this, but that's exactly how it should be. It's a finite commodity, and we all know about supply-demand curves.<br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;

Point is you were moaning and groaning that gas would never fall below $3.00 per gallon again, and just a few short weeks later it did! <br><br><br>***********************<br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Point is you were moaning and groaning that gas would never fall below $3.00 per gallon again<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>Gas has not fallen below $3 a gallon in Hanover, PA. A few months ago it was $2.25. Care to try again?<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

You weren't "Hanover, PA" specific in your original sky-is-falling post. But hey .. keep on changing what you "meant" to say. <br><br>When gas falls under $3.00 per gallon in Hanover, PA, you'll "yeahbut" that the gas station isn't .56 miles from your house. <br><br>***********************<br>

So what's that, a 200% increase in price? <br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®
